Default Any suggestions on a great low light sight?

The only thing I lack is a good sight. I want something that works well in low light conditions. Before I drop $100 on one, I'd like to see what you use.

I have a Cobra Sidewinder and I'm really happy with it.

I have a feather weight, or feather light what ever it is called Savage Pendulum sight, get the green pin, works great for low light conditions. The red pin doesn't work as well. I used the Keller pendulum for years, works great for good light, but is very poor when light conditions dominish.

Forgot to mention, that the SAVAGE Pendulum is in Cabela's or Bass Pro for usually around $60.00 or less. Usually shoots really good to around 26 or 27 yards, after that, depending on bow drops pretty good though. Just have to know that and adjust for it, good right to under the stand.

I use the Impact Cosmic, it is a single pin moveable sight, and I love it. It is very bright.

I had the cobra Sidewinder LX and the pins were WAY to flimsy. I picked up by bow out of my case and one of the fiber optics had broken off. Also, they curve way to far out from the pin.. Your just asking for disaster when walkin through the woods.. I'm taking my back..

I use the HHA Optimizer Lite which has a single green pin on a slider. It has 3 feet of fiber optic thread. IMO, it and the Cobra single pin had the brightest pins I could find. I felt that the HHA was built better. I don't think you could go wrong with either one.

Learn how to shoot well out to 20-25 yards without using your sights. In low light, you're not going to be shooting much further than that anyway. It's no big trick to keep arrows in a baseball size group at that close distance with just a little practice. The best thing is you won't have to worry about being able to see the pins through the peep, having pins bright enough to see, or having pins so bright you can't see the animal behind them.

Get a copy of Byron Ferguson's book "Become the Arrow". It's written for longbow shooters, but his aiming method works equally well for recurves and compounds. And it's a heckuva lot less expensive than a new set of sights.
